never heard this before, can you post Scripture/elaborate please.
I can't post Scripture to prove something is NOT there. The best I can do is look in detail at the Scriptures where people say it is, and show it is not. I Pet. 3:20, note the word "excactly" or "only" is not there. It says only that 8 were saved in Noah's ark, and makes no mention about others being or not being saved somewhere else. I started with the Greek, because when we think of the word "all" or "every", we think in Greek, since our English concepts are derived from it. We do not realize that Aristotle spent 200 pages defining how to think, in his treatises on logic. We tend to read back into the Hebrew things which are not there.
For example, Gen. 7:4, "every living substance I have made I will destroy from the face of the earth" sounds to us like He will destroy everything. But it's clear the words don't mean that, since it is in a context where He saves Noah, the animlas, food, etc. What it
must mean is that He will do something to everything that is not protected. The Hebrew "all" does not mean what we think of as "all". Gen. 7:21, the word "all" is not in the Hebrew, where it should be, if our usual theory is correct. In Gen. 7:23 "only Noah remained alive..and those in the ark with Him" is a mistranslation. The Hebrew is "ak", "
surely Noah and those in the ark were alive." Nothing in Scripture says everything but the ark contents was destroyed.
Comparative mythology is quick to report that almost every culture has a flood myth. The normal explanation was for many years, that the sons of Noah told their children, and their children separated after Babel, and they took the flood story with them in confused form. Later, as scientific method proved that enough rain could not fall in 40 days to cover the highest mountain, the Scriptural story,
as minsinterpreted, was rejected and replaced with the idea of memories of melting ice sheets. Once this was done, the comparative stories received greater prominence, because scientists wanted to prove Christianity wrong. Due to the greater prominence, we now know that people were saved in other parts of the world, because further scientific studies of mythology prove that myths do not garble in this manner when transmitted to descendants (this has to do with how humans think when they tell stories). The stories must be independent.
The correct story hinges on comparative archeomathematics, which demonstrates that the Chinese flood date, June 6-16, 3122, is compatible with the Hebrew, Sumerian, and Egyptian partial dates. The date similarity proves it was one event observed by different people. If this new theory is correct, one can look for another cause. I propose the cause is that the joined continents were fractured by an underside hit from the oscillating molten iron core of the earth. That separated North/South America from Africa/Europe/Asia, and dislodged Antarctica and Australia, and various islands. The land masses tossed up and down in the ocean, as rain fell. This simple solution accounts for all the mythological stories, and details that are not in the Bible, as Noah could not have seen them from his point of view. It also accounts for the "fossil record" and errant DNA and radioisotope evidence, and makes the 6000 year old earth possible. In order for this story to be true of course, other people had to survive apart from the ark, as their stories claim.
